    I just found out today about her passing. I am so sorry and my heart goes out to Dan, Jessie, Dave and family. She was such a beautiful person who will be missed by everyone who knew her. I love the video and it brought back so many memories. My thoughts and prayers are with your family. She loved God and is now in Heaven with him.

    I love you Mom. I really dont know what to do without you. You sure did anazing things in so many people’s lives.. Especially Dan’s and mine. Camryn and Logan are better kids because they had you in their lives.

    Kathy I miss you so much. Even now tears are coming to my eyes. You are about the nicest person anyone would want to know. You never had a cross word for anyone. I still miss our late night marathon phone calls. I really miss you’re calm voice and your willingness to give advice when asked. Most of all I miss your hugs. Lots of love, Mike
